    The Presidency of the EU Council: a real coordination challenge

    This is the 12th time Belgium assumes the Presidency of the EU Council. One might even say that Belgium has this task “in its bones”.

For a start, we are pleased to present the results of our first meeting on the sidelines of the presidency: our conversation with Secretary of State Olivier Chastel.
